From a recent email of M.A. Lemburg: """That's what the entry uses. The calendar widgets and entries
on python.org use UTC as timezone.""". Shouldn't the event be displayed in the time zone of the event venue - even if this means requesting said time zone for each event?

This would be possible using the TZ IDs available in the iCal feeds.

OTOH, that would also make it more difficult for people trying to
determine the time in their own timezone. UTC avoids this and
since it is displayed all over the event pages, it's hard not to
detect.

I'd say this is low priority.

I can see a couple of options that might be useful:

  1. Display both UTC and the local timezone labeled something like "local time US Central/UTC-6"

  2. Option for logged in users to set their local time zone and force display to their timezone

But yeah probably pretty low priority.

Ideal would be to display the events in the browser's timezone, but AFAIK, this is difficult to do in a cross-browser way. Short of that, I think option 2) is the best way to do this.

This looks like a duplicate of #87.
